Foreword 


The 19S2 Clarion was printed with a 
thought to the future as well as to the 
past. Within its covers will be found a 
record in writing and photographs of in¬ 
dividual, organization, and class activi¬ 
ties which were a part of the 1951-1952 
school year. Also included are drawings 
which picture the staff's conception of 
IJ. High in the future. The reader will 
notice and be interested in following 
literary predictions concerning the suc¬ 
cess of the undergraduate classes, as 
well as this year's graduates.

In Dedication 


Jhe class of 1952 wishes to dedicate this 
yearbook to Mr. Theodore Almy, our sponsor, who 
has patiently guided us from impulsive freshmen 
to what, we nope, are wiser seniors. 

Mr. Almy has constantly urged us on to new 
and original accomplishments, encouraging indivi¬ 
duality as well as cooperation among the members 
of the class. What success we have obtained has 
been the product of Mr. Almy’s efforts. It is now 
our task to fulfill his expectations in the 
future.

English, an Expanding Curriculum 
of Literature and Mechanics 


Mr. Almy 


Miss Hen line 


In the three required years of English and 
the voluntary fourth year, speaking, reading, 
and writing are stressed. Students learn in one 
semester to speak and write correctly, and in 
the other to appreciate and enjoy literature; 
classical and modern, fiction and nonfiction, 
prose and poetry. 




A new addition to the English department 
Viis year was a course in pre-college grammar. 
Ihis course was offered for the benefit of 
seniors who wanted to brush up on their know- 

edge of grammar before graduation and entrance 
into college.

Offered at U. High this year in the field 
f foreign language were French, Spanish, and 
atin. The students in these classes not only 
earned to speak and read the languages but 
Iso to understand the customs and history oi 
he people living in these countries. Observ¬ 
ing the holidays was among the many interesting 
ctivities of the classes. Each group learned 
'hristmas carols in the language it was study- 
ng, and the Spanish class observed Christmas 
rith a traditional Spanish pinata. Outside the 
;lassroom, Latin students have formed a club, 
fhich meets every month to prove that learning 
i language can be fun.

Future Scientists View Life's Intricacies Under a Microscope 



Miss McAvoy 


For aspiring chemists, physicists or doctors, U. High 
holds a wealth of opportunity. Students desiring this course of 
study begin as freshmen when they take general science, which 
is a fundamental study of science and its principles. In this 
class one receives a basis for more extensive study later. When 
entering his second year at U. High, a student may enroll in an 
elementary biology class. Here he learns of plants and animals 
and a touch of chemistry. His junior year he may decide to 
carry on with advanced biology or he may choose to take chemis¬ 
try, or possibly both. The chemistry class delves into the 
earth’s secrets and learns of elements, formulas, and equa¬ 
tions, The senior year at U. High, a student may take up the 
study of force and energy and the backbone of all other scien¬ 
ces-- physics. This is merely an average science schedule. It 
is altered to fit each individual’s choice. The science depart- 
at U. High offers an excellent choice of college preparatory 
classes; and with wel1-equipped labs and classrooms, they do a 
fine job. 



























Miss Norskog 


Mr. McCormick 


Mr. Rine 


What is an equation? How do you find the 
median of a triangle? What do you have to know to 
find the volume of a pyramid? And how can you 
find the height of an object if you can't even 
get near it? 


All these questions could be answered quite 
easily by students enrolled in mathematics 
classes. The students learned these answers and 
many more with the help and guidance of Mr. Rey 
Mr, Brown, Miss Flagg, Mr. McCormick, Miss Nors-* 
kog, Mr. Rine and Mr. Ullsvik. 

?f many activ ities the math classes 
engaged in this year was the decorating of a 
Christmas tree by one of Miss Norskog’s classes 
The tree was on the second floor of the Metcalf 
building during the Christmas season Metcali

Secretaries and Executives Are 
Products of Business Education 


U. High students are very fortunate in that they are of¬ 
fered a wide variety of classes on business education. Many 
students take advantage of this wonderful opportunity which is 
offered them. When a student graduates from U. High and has 
taken the business course, he can be sure he has a sound know¬ 
ledge of the business fundamentals. 

The four faculty members in charge of teaching in this de¬ 
partment this year were Miss Jessa, Miss Nay, Miss Webb, and 
Mr. Esworthy. Most of the business classes are divided into 
semester courses. It is possible to take three semesters of 
typing and two years of shorthand. The rest of the classes are 
semester courses only. Dr. Esworthy teaches business law; Miss 
Jessa teaches bookkeeping and commercial typing; Miss Nay 
teaches personal typing, business arithmetic, and general busi¬ 
ness, and Miss Webb teaches both years of shorthand and office 
practice. 

Each year the Whitehouse Cup is awarded to the senior girl 
who has been most outstanding in her work in the business de¬ 
partment. This award is something all girls majoring in busi¬ 
ness education strive to obtain. 

The business department offers excellent preparation for 
future typists, stenographers, secretaries, and businessmen.

getting a reputation for producing fi ne m us J S 
cians and excellent choral and orchestral groups' 
The band director and leader of the choruses i s 
Mr. Arden Vance who is, in his own right, a musi¬ 
cian of merit. The marching band went through 
hours of grueling practice sessions to prepare 
for the Homecoming parade and the formations 
which they executed between halves of the game 
The orchestra has entertained at different assem¬ 
blies throughout the year and has proved that 
practice makes perfect. The combined choruses 
presented their annual Christmas program with 
much success. 

Under the instruction of Dr. George Conrad, 
the art classes, too, have enjoyed a successful 
year. Besides completing their usual task of de¬ 
corating the lower hall of Metcalf and painting 
the windows at Christmas time, the first, second, 
and third year art classes presented an interest¬ 
ing assembly consisting of two puppet shows, the 
puppets made and manipulated by the art students 
themselves. 


The speech department will undoubtedly train 
many of the country's future orators and drama¬ 
tists. Mr. G. Bradford Barber and Mr. Harlan 
Shaw, together, are responsible for instructing 
students in the fundamentals of good speaking and 
for directing the various school plays. They, 
along with the students, have presented drama and 
comedy with equal ease. Many speech students have 
entered contests and come away with numerous 















Practical Arts Are Studied bg 
Those With an Eye to the Future 

Three courses taken by many U. High stu¬ 
dents are home economics, industrial arts, and 
agriculture. Home ec, being taken by the girls, 
industrial arts, which includes driver training 
by both boys and girls, and agriculture by boys 
only. 

The home ec classes are taught by Miss 
Johnson and Mrs. Bradford, Three years of home 
ec are offered. During the whole course, a girl 
will learn a great deal about nutrition, meal 
planning, food preparation, sewing, grooming, 
home nursing, etiquette, and home decorating. 
This year the Home F,c III class made the fur¬ 
nishings for a miniature house made by one of 
the industrial arts classes. 

There are many classes under the heading 
of industrial arts. Four of our faculty members 
teach these classes, Mr. Hammond, Mr. Uonn, Mr. 
Porter and Mr. Reed. Driver training, general 
shop, and mechanical drawing are all taught by 
Mr. Hammond. Mr. Honn teaches printing; Mr. 
Porter, woodworking; and Dr. Reed, metalwork. 

There are three classes under the heading 
of agriculture; farm management, crops, and 
animal husbandry are all taught by Mr. Benton. 
The names of the classes are self-explanatory, 
in most cases, as to the nature of the courses, 
Mr. Benton often takes his classes on field 
trips to the university farm.

Miss Shea 


Miss Shea and Miss Cleary Protected the Health of the Students 



Miss Shea ami Miss Cleary are two faculty 
members who seem to be taken for granted by 
most U. High students. They should, however, be 
recognized for the work they do here at U. 
High. When a student has been sick, he goes to 
them to be readmitted into school. They make 
sure it is all right for him to return to his 
classes. If a student gets hurt, Miss Shea and 
Miss Cleary are always there to help and see 
that he is taken care of.Miss Shea also 
teaches a course in home nursing for girls tak¬ 
ing home economics. The students wish to ex¬ 
press appreciation to them for the work they 
have done this year.

The first draft of the plans for the class of 1952 
was drawn up on Freshman Oay in the spring of 19148. At 
that time, this year’s graduates were not a class, but 
a group of individuals. 


Progress toward unity was first made when the younp 
freshmen met for the first time, in the fall of the 
same year, for the purpose of electing their d a " 
officers. Leading the freshman class, in the offi ce 01 
president, was Jim Neff. The initial class project was 
a closed party held in Cook Hall. This party showed 
that its instigators, though lacking in experience, 
were not lacking in initiative; and it promised of h* 
ter things to come. 








As cautious sophomores, the class of 52 under 
guidance of Mr. Almy and president Paul Goetz, 

U P plans for a larger project. This was to be an * 1 
school party which proved, definitely, their abi ^ 
^ work as a team. At the end of this year came t 
' sk of selecting the officers who would lead the ^ 
ities during the next important year. Mr. ' P 
I°sed, and the students adopted, a new method o ^ 
nation, by petition. It proved so successful that^ 
adopted by this and other classes as a st

Chosen to lead the money-making 
projects of their junior year was 
Harold Frye as president. His energies, 
along with those of the other members 
of the class, brought forth a success¬ 
ful banquet and prom for the class of 
1951. Another project which established 
their capability was the junior class 
play, ‘'Seventeenth Summer.** 


September,- 1951, was a milestone in 
the dreams of these students. They were 
seniors, the looked-up-to leaders of U. 
High. As a well co-ordinated group, led 
by Jim Crowley, president; Kenny Fry, 
vice-president; Kay Blakney, secretary, 
and Tom Brigham, treasurer, they func¬ 
tioned in many activities: the first 
assembly of the year, a U. S. History 
trip to Pere Marquette, an all-school 
party, and a successful play, ‘‘Our 
Town. * * 


In the spring of 1952, the seniors 
were honored with a memorable banquet 
and prom. Their final days were filled 
with other never-to-be-forgotten 
events: the junior-senior prom, the 
senior trip, Baccalaureate, and finally 
.Commencement. 


During their four years at U. High, 
this class produced many capable lead¬ 
ers as well as cooperative followers. 
Future recollections will rightfully 
arouse pride and perhaps even a little 
wistfulness in the hearts of the 1952 
gr adua tes .

Juniors 

Wielding the pencils and rulers to construct the 
blueprints for next year is the class of 1953. 

The Junior class at U. High is no*different from 
Junior classes of the past. They have encountered the 
usual difficulties and financial scrapes. They have had 
the experience of running out of candy or pop at a 
crucial moment. But our Juniors haven't made only the 
usual accomplishments, they've topped their year of 
successes by putting on a perfectly co-ordinated ban- 
quet and prom* They' ve staged an excellent class play 
and sold faithfully each noon and at every game to 
bolster their treasury. 

Part of the credit can be given to the officers 
who are held responsible for the success of the class. 
Glen Adams headed the class as president with Peggy 
Kring as vice-president. Judy Orendorff and Lois 
Singleton shared the post of secretary and Gllie 
Shultz and Joy Schaaf budgeted the treasury. Mr. 
DeWeese, their sponsor, offered valuable assistance at 
all times. 






If our juniors can be counted on to plot the plans 
for next year as ably as they've handled this import¬ 
ant year, U. High can look to the future with confi¬ 
dence in its new leaders.

omores 


Following the first year of organization, the class 
of 1954 began its sophomore year by selecting Dean 
Sears to the presidency. Sue Danenberger, Ann Mathis, 
and Jayne Rice were elected to aid in drafting plans 
for this year* s activities, They served as vice- 
president, secretary, and treasurer respectively* 

In the usual sophomore tradition, they presented a 
successfully executed all-school party in Cook Hall 
February 9. These ambitious students, with the help of 
their sponsor, Mr. Hammond, hope to develop a workable 
money-making scheme with which they may launch their 
all-important junior year. 

It is apparent that confidence can be placed in the 
class of 1954 with respect to future contributions to 

U. High.

Freshmen 





f 


And then they were freshmen! One hundred and 
thirteen boys and girls from all over Normal and 
Bloomington, together as one, the class of 55. 

At the first class meeting late in September, the 
first task was to elect officers to work with Miss 
Stroud, the capable class sponsor. When the votes were 
counted, John Arnold was president, Jim Miller, vice- 
president, Eleanor White, secretary, and Bill 
Me Mu lien, treasurer. 

Next on the agenda was the planning of the closed 
party with 1 ‘Getting To Know You* * as the theme. On the 
night of November 30 the freshmen hardly recognized 
Cook Hall for the circus tent that had been erected by 
the decoration committee. Every freshman wore an un 
usual hat to the party, and Verne Evans and Anita 
Hayner won the prizes for the two most clever crea¬ 
tions. 

The entertainment committee was on hand with 
games, dancing, and a very talented floor show. Al 
Whitehall emceed the show which consisted of pi an0 
solos, vocal solos and duets, record interpretations, 
and dancing of the Charleston. Later in the evening, 
the refreshment committee served cokes, and all agree 
that it had been a very successful party* 




















The aim of the freshman class in the next thr 
years is success in studies, worlds of fun, an( ^ 
operation as a class organization.
